Fabregas tells friends he will sign for Barca before World Cup, says report in Spain

Reports in the Spanish press claim Cesc Fabregas has told family and friends he will sign for Barcelona this summer.

Spanish newspaper El Mundo Deportivo reports this morning that Fabregas "has told friends and family that he has come to a four-year agreement with Barcelona and hopes to leave Arsenal before the World Cup."

The paper goes on to say that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is aware of his captain's desire to rejoin his former club and will not stand in his way, provided the clubs can agree a transfer fee.

El Mundo Deportivo claims a bid of €40m would be enough to tempt the Gunners into doing business, or perhaps a player-plus-cash deal involving Yaya Toure.

I'm a United fan, but I prefer him to be Arsenal until end of his career, he can be a legend there, if he goes to Barca now he would be just be a backup player for Xavi in other words a bench warmer, unless Xavi is sold to Real Madrid lol which won't happen
